..like watching goofy cat videos on YouTube.

Saw this the other day.
I had no idea who he was. So I googled him. Now I know who he is, but don't care.
Again, "Wizard's First Rule". Especially the 2nd half.
If not, are your local Cougars that desperate?
I might finally be at the age I legally can be cougar. Now I can date a guy who is ten years younger than me and I will not go to jail. Wait I have been that since I was 30 or 31?
26, if I remember your location correctly: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states/south-carolina
Close, but a tad too south

Some of the PPE I have seen in news reports or facebook ads are darth vader cool looking (some not sure how effective). I wonder if any PAs plan to get out some new products.
You work right along side with your employees, but is the billionaire CEO of Amazon rolling up his sleeves and fulfilling orders along side with his employees at that warehouse?
That's been an ongoing gripe about Bezos for years...the man is the richest man in the world or some such bullpoopey yet he's still taking home a paycheck through all this. Places like Amazon and Instacart have to exist in this environment because people have to eat. Good lord, could you imagine if they just stopped delivering period? There would be chaos. People would start seriously fighting over a can of beans. And as all the preppers and self-sustaining people snicker on the sidelines, the rest of the world that relies on delivery services will descend into further chaos.
I absolutely think these people deserve hazard pay. For sure. 100%. But food delivery services can't just stop. We need them. And they (the workers protesting) may not realize it...yet...but they need them too. Everybody needs to eat.
....however, Amazon workers need to stop being treated like robots, forced to work at an insane pace and metric to the point some cannot even go to the loo on their break without being written up for getting back to their work area a few seconds (yes) too late.
...and this is the way it usually is without anything like a holiday rush or the current situation we are in.
Oh they can continue to deliver. And Bezos can get right in the mix and lead by example.
The preppers were originally snickered at for worrying over nothing. So they can snicker at the "waiting til the last minute" people now.
Not to minimize their plight or anything, but my husband works in a call center and has to deal with pretty much the same thing. His mouse movements are tracked, his screens are recorded, and if his mouse sits idle for more than 2min, his manager gets pinged. He's literally had to explain to his manager why he's had to use more "in the bathroom" time on some days when his stomach is bothering him. If he goes over on his break or lunch, he has to explain why. They're also held to productivity and customer survey metrics. So it's not just Amazon workers who have to deal with bullshit like that.
There was something about the CEO having a 1000 pushup work out. He should try working at his own warehouse, day in and day out.
I doubt it, but that is managment. Our CEO doesn't do it either, that isn't the point. Since Bezos started Amazon in his garage in 1994, I am pretty sure he has done his fair share of working with his own product. Employees can leave if they want, but it's his company and he can run it how he wants whether they like it or not. I have employees that complain to me about things at work and I tell them they can always leave and there are always others that are willing to step in and do the job. If it is a legit complaint we do our best to remedy it. No workplace is perfect in my experience, some are better or worse then others. if i was one of those workers and felt the company was making me work in an unsafe environment, I would leave and work some place that did. In my experience, managment and employees usually view decisions differently. Amazon has around 800,00 employees, so obviuosly there are plenty that want to remain employed. I have friends that work at Amazon and while I am sure it's not a perfect company they love it
Personally, if i was running that warehouse AND doing what I could to stay in business and take care of my employees and saw that article, those in the images had better start looking for new jobs.
I wonder how many customers that might use that warehouse saw that story and thought, "what, stop your whining and get back to work, I NEED my toilet paper delivered!!"
When the Amazon distribution center opened up in my town, people were estatic about the jobs it created and I so far haven't heard anybody complain about it locally. Labor laws are different in each state, and I'd imagine way different in other countries.
At the moment, people are still cheaper than robots. That won't be so a whole lot longer.
Well, the question still remains...what happens to all those people, and the economy, when they lose their jobs to robots? In the words of the great Ian Malcolm..."
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
Simply put, the economy and society as a whole cannot afford to have that many people out of work. And you can't say "well they can go learn something else" because that also is not an option when a college education can easily equate to 20k a year or more (on the cheap side) and student loans one can never possibly hope to recover from. People can't just all of a sudden go do something else. So before that happens, policy makers better go watch some serious episodes of Star Trek to figure out a way to clothe, feed, and house an entire society of people who have been displaced by robots.
..worked in one myself and, if you can believe it, washed out after a few months.
Part of it was the fact I'm dyslexic and was beginning to experience short term memory issues. That was difficult enough as we had to create and memorise three different very cryptic passwords (as we could not have even a card or scrap of paper at our workstations because we were told it posed a risk to "customer confidentiality" so the passwords had to be memorised) which also had to be changed ever 6 weeks. Every time you left your workstation, to say use the loo, you had to completely sign out and sign back in again when you returned (like your where your husband worked our systems were constantly monitored as well).
However, the major reason were those metrics. At the hiring interview, I was told this was not a sales position, however during training, I found out that was not exactly true as we were required to "upsell" services. to meet company metrics. If you didn't upsell, that meant you were not improving, so no bonus to your paycheque. If this continued for three months you would be called in for a review and if it persisted afterwards, you would be called in for a second one and likely get sacked. Besides having to deal with rude or abusive people which was challenging enough, I found it even more difficult to try and force customers, many whom were already having extreme difficulty paying their bills (and were often stressed out about it), to purchase additional services/equipment or upgrade to a more expensive plan that they clearly could not afford. It finally got to me, as I had been in similar positions, and one day I went into the "HR" office and I told them I no longer could continue.
I've also worked in fulfilment industry (different company) for about two decades prior to that position, so I've experienced both "pressure cookers" and can empathise with these people.
After the experiences I went through, as well as having read many accounts and investigative reports, I just will never use Amazon and when I'm on the phone or chat with a customer service operator, I am courteous, even if I feel the company they represent is in the wrong as it isn't their fault.
Crikey my bank gave me an Amazon gift card a month ago for participating in a focus group and even though I'm on a tight budget, I've never bothered to use it.
Ironically, Arnold's most famous line was one he hated during filming. He felt a robot should not use contractions. He argued, "I will be back" sounded more mechanical.
He was also originally cast to be Kyle Reese. O.J. Simpson was suppose to be the Terminatior. (from Arnold's autobiograpy Total Recall)
Yeah, I did the call center thing for just under two years and thankfully got out and was promoted into corporate. They say the general rule is to get out within two years or you'll burn out. We both work for the same company and I don't know how he's still doing it 13 years later. People will say things to you on the phone they'd never say to your face, especially when it's a product they can't understand and don't even want. Thankfully, he does mostly heads down paperwork these days, but he's still held to all sorts of metrics. We both work from home, but because his system is monitored, he has to do the whole log out thing every time he gets up as if our cats are going to spy or something. It's a lot more relaxed for me because I'm in corporate, but I'm also salary so that's a whole other sort of burden, lol. (I get yelled at constantly about checking my email on days off and while on vacation.)
...kind of like RoboCop "Come quietly or there will be... trouble."
The short term answer is easy. Most become part of a dystopian science fiction movie. THX1138 comes to mind.
There are two things people will still be able to do better than robots. One is the trades. Every house is different. Every toilet is different. Robots are best at repetitious tasks. In the trades, each job tends to be unique. If I had kids I would encourage them to become plumbers or electricians.
The other is the creative arts. Consider. Laughter is an indication of mental health. Already you would think that laughter is illegal. And yet we need it. Plus, Hollywood has one foot in right now. In ten years these antagonistic sots and hags will be gone. The stage is set for independant artists, working from home, collaborating remotely, to take their place.
Idealistic, I know...
Well so far the Corona virus hasn't made the jump from human to robot so they can safely infect humans without having to worry about infecting each other.
They are pretty both pretty much talkking heads for oposite sides
It's already been done.

ACTUAL rulers, plz. they've been among us for millenia. think Bubastis, there it was still in the open...
leaving the appartment would only anger the cats if you lived with one/some. as their slave, obviously, like any cat's flatmate. i don't think any cat living outside would even notice you while you dump your trash - as long as you don't sully their territory with anything not edible - why should they. i mean you are human. we humans are to many cats even less worthy of interest than a cockroach. unless we feed the cats, then we might have their attention for a while...
let me correct you: nobody "has" a cat, let alone "own" one, roflmao... if anything, the cat(s) owns YOU.
but back to your question, not offering any feline your protective four walls as well as a good part of your salary in food, litter if they live indoor (not sure if they give you points or not about the indoor thing...) and your unlimited loyalty is NOT good, they might consider you part of the enemy camp indeed, i mean, what use is a human if they don't serve felines? so yeah, i dunno if you're doomed yet or just on a very very dark black list. like, driving at 300mph on the highway to hell.
well, at least, you don't seem to own a dog (noticed i used "own"? well in this case it's accurate) - THIS would be certain, immediate doom. in this and all your future lives and for 100 generations.
agree about the going crazy thing, welcome into the club
